I've been drinking vodka based drinks since I was 13. Never really took to beer, not until I went to the USA at 17, oddly enough. And even then only because it was often between beer and staying sober. Beggars can't be choosers I guess. Believe it or not, I have fond memories of Miller beer

I mentioned in an older blog post how my cats sleep in the weirdest positions. Here's another example

They used to be lab cats and have never seen a male cat. Might explain their behavior. Like Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park: "Nature always finds a way"... or tries to anyways.

I just wanted to say that working on 4.0 has been a wonderful experience for me. I have to thank Lucky and Dag for everything they've done and for presenting me with such a great opportunity. I really enjoy being part of such a great team and I think we've done a pretty good job on 4.0.

Working for the benefit of such a great community was a big motivation as well. If it wasn't for all the wonderful people and their great contributions to this site, I might not have stuck around when I first discovered this site and wouldn't have gotten to this point.

I hope you all enjoy the changes that have been introduced and I'm sure you will continue to make this site the very special place it is on the web.

We've already got some great ideas for 4.1, so don't think that we're gonna take it slow after the launch of 4.0

My cats sleep in the weirdest positions. I think the lil one might still miss her mommy or something, always trying to snuggle with the other kitteh. Sure she's trying to suck up to the white Kitteh, but I think she's starting to take the whole "brown nose" idea too literal!

That, plus Ms. Piggy (the white one) is really into all kinds of dairy products...

This script minimizes Sift Talk posts in the Talk section listing and inserts an arrow next to the title that will expand/collapse the post on click.

Download it here.

Since some users don't feel the need to use snip or collapse tags when posting the phone book on the front page of the talk section, it has become something of a nuisance to navigate it. Other things, like long lists of neat things, can also clutter the talk listing a bit.

You can modify the minHeight variable at the top of the script to change the minimum height (in pixel) a sift talk post has to have in order to be minimized on load (default is 110).

As with all my GM Scripts you will need FireFox and the AddOn GreaseMonkey for this to work.

The image is pretty large, so you'll have to expand the post to see it...

My YouSift GM Script which fills in all relevant sift submission information at the click of a button has been updated to support DailyMotion.com and Break.com (again).

Read more about the script here or directly download it here.

That's all, now go donate some money and help keep VideoSift.com alive! 

Update: Fixed a bug where vote options that only have one vote wouldn't be processed.

Made this one when the polls were introduced. Given the recent influx of siftquisitions/polls I thought it might be worth sharing.

Adds colored bars to the polls. Will result in the vote count being visible all the time (not just after clicking "show votes"). Due to rounding it might end up showing a total of 99 or 101%.

Edit: As with all my GM Scripts you will need FireFox and the AddOn GreaseMonkey for this to work.

Get it here.

A while back when the black theme was introduced to VideoSift some of us noticed how the star icons and such weren't really designed to work on both bright and dark backgrounds. xxovercastxx was nice enogh to make an alternative icon set, but the originals were modified to (somewhat) work with the dark color theme and xxovercastxx icons probably ended up mostly unnoticed...

For completion's sake, here's my blog entry covering my GreaseMonkey script "YouSift".

YouSift puts a link on YouTube(screenshot) and CollegeHumor(screenshot) video pages. When clicked, you will be redirected to VideoSift's submission page and all the relevant information (embed code, title, tags, description), if available, will be filled in automatically.
